Long Way From Home

Bought a one way ticket
On a train, now headin' out of this one horse town
Ain't too sure where I'm going
I see the faces of the children living out on the streets
Lord knows I'm thankful
I had my family to care for me
'Cause everyday now
This road gets longer on by the mile my life rolls onward
And my soul grows tired

Nowhere to run to, Lord
Nowhere to hide
Ain't got no money
Man, I gave up on pride
So where are you going?
Tell me, I'd like to know
'Cause I'm a long way away from home
Lord, I'm long gone, yeah

Lonely feelings
Lord, they lay by my side
Most every night, I don't know why
They seem to haunt me, yeah
I feel the traces
Of the memories etched upon my soul
As my nights grow longer
And my days grow old

Nowhere to run to, Lady
Nowhere to hide
Ain't got no money
Man, I gave up on pride
So where are you going?
Tell me, brother I'd like to know
'Cause I'm a long way away from home
Lord, I'm a long way from home

Lonely feelings
Lord, they lay by my side
Most every night, I don't know why
They seem to haunt me
I feel the traces
Of the memories etched upon my soul
As my nights grow longer
And my days grow old

A crowded barroom
Whores and pushers they all share the streets
While the rich grow stronger
And the poor die weak, Lord

Nowhere to run to, lady
Nowhere to hide
Ain't got no money
Man, I gave up on pride
So where are you going?
Tell me, mister I'd like to know
'Cause I'm a long way away from home
Yeah, I'm a long way from home
Lord, I'm a long way form home
